    It turns out that because of aging, trauma, long-term desk work and physical fitness and other factors can cause cervical spine degeneration, this degenerative change often narrows the intervertebral foramina, thereby compressing the nerve root, once compressing the greater occipital nerve, there will be tenderness in the cranial part of the greater occipital nerve, radiating to the top of the head, manifested as swelling pain on the top of the head, and when the patient's head is bent back and remains sideways, the radiation pain from the neck to the shoulder and upper arm will appear from the upper compression.

    If the degeneration is caused by nucleus pulposus prolapse, bone spurs, hypertrophic calcification of ligaments, etc., it can directly compress the spinal cord, and even compress the spinal cord blood vessels to cause degeneration and softening of the spinal cord.

    In addition, cervical spondylosis often narrows the vertebral arteries, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the vertebrobasilar arteries, headache with dizziness, and a sense of rotation, such as driving a car or a boat, or walking like stepping on cotton, and seeing things as if covered by a layer of fog.

    Therefore, it should be noted that the neck should not be kept in a position for a long time, the neck and shoulders should be moved appropriately, the sleeping pillow should not be too high or too low, and smoking should be avoided.
